Some small detail reveals for my next project


You would think I would be getting better at sharing these but I always feel like I'm being forced to do a surprise show and tell presentation lol. So apologies of it's rambly.

First here is some art I made for this new project- unfortunately I am still struggling with a name, I have a few working titles I'm cycling between but nothing is sticking in a way I feel good about so for the time being I'll just be referring to it as Project C.



The second image shown here is actually a screen which will allow you to choose between a masc or fem body, pronoun options will also be available for this one though it will be limited to she/her, he/him and they/them, this is due to the way pronoun changes complicate grammar and since I'm told my grammar already has issues (lol sorry) that might cause some lines to be completely nonsensical.

The story of Project C will be somewhat episodic with one larger overarching story line and smaller contained stories unfolding around you as you play through.

You start out the game as someone just arriving at the academy as the new archivist in charge of the library (Though it would be funny to jump 'teacher simulator' on you, I decided that it was best to not do that)

Since this game is set in an academic environment but all the LI and the MC are faculty and not students, there will be a lot of characters who will be students to fill out the cast. So if you would like to help me come up with a few feel free to leave some suggestions below. This is something I did when creating Eli from EmOth and something folks seemed to enjoy. Here is how it works.

-you can describe a character or just a character quirk (I usually combine a few suggestions into one character so you don't have to provide a fully fleshed out description if you don't want to)

-keep in mind that I may use these characters to drive the plot, for this reason I don't add people's oc's because I don't want hurt feelings if I make a character act in a certain way

-as with EmOth, usernames of everyone who contributes suggestions will show up in the credits at the end of the game, even if the character I make from the suggestion isn't used.

-criteria for whatever character concept you suggest:

*the students should be teenagers between 14-18

*the vibes are dark academia so more gritty, edgy or troubled characters are ok but nothing sexual.

*the academy is a space specifically for supernatural beings so that includes vampires, werewolves, etc. But can also include more obscure beings from folklore or cryptids. Humans are allowed in though and the MC is human though this comes with challenges and only occures if the human is particularly skilled at something.

*the academy has a uniform (that I have not figured out yet) so clothing descriptions might not be applicable

Oki. I thing that's all I can think of for now. Oh I finally figured out the male LI, expect art of him coming soon but I ended up going with Nephilim for him. Ok that's really all now. Thanks for reading my rambles ^-^

a person with two heads who are always at odds with the other?

a werewolf who looks sporty but actually spends most of their time at the library.

shy kid whos morbidly curious and enjoys eavesdropping, so they sometimes might drop in at certain points and give you info about things that are happening throughout the story

Imagining someone whose shadow is separate from them and acts like a familiar. They’re extremely proper and rules-oriented and the shadow is very much not.

Classic spoiled mean girl/boy is always a fun character I think

We definitely need one of those
